다문화청소년의 학교생활적응의 결정요인에 관한 연구

Abstract

Objectives This study aims to examine the determinants of cultural stress of multicultural youth on school life adaptation, and to improve the adaptation of multicultural youth to school life, focusing on the mediating effect of social support and social contraction. Methods A total of 1,380 people were surveyed for the first year of middle school, a panel of the 4th data (2014). In addition, the validity was reviewed through confirmatory factor analysis of the determinants of school life of multicultural adolescents, and causal relationships, suitability, and direct and indirect effects were verified for structural equation analysis. Results There was a significant correlation between school life adaptation, cultural adaptation stress, social support, and social upper measurement of multicultural adolescents. According to the main results, it was found that cultural adaptation stress had a direct or indirect effect on school life adaptation and had an indirect effect through social support and social contraction. Conclusions The practical implications of this study are to prepare support measures for the social support system to lower important career barriers for multicultural youth, to provide life-cycle counseling programs and integrated case management considering social contraction factors, and to raise the level of school life adaptation by providing educational opportunities for multicultural youth.
